Brothers has sustained better on its 5th day at the box office, as the drop from Monday from the centres that we...

Brothers has fared poorly at the box office on Monday, giving the film little or no chance of crossing the 100 crore mark – which was the least a film of this size should have collected. The Akshay Kumar – Sidharth Malhotra starrer had to collect somewhere around 7-8 crore to give the film any chance at the box office, but early estimates suggest that the first Monday business will be around the 5.5 – 6 crore mark.

Karan Malhotra’s last film ‘Agneepath’ was the 4th highest grosser of 2012, after Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2 and Rowdy Rathore. When the film released in January 2012, it recorded the highest opening day collections ever - the record was eventually broken by Ek Tha Tiger in the same year. 3 years after the release of ‘Agneepath’, Malhotra released his second film ‘Brothers’, which has also taken a good opening at the box office.

Brothers has shown a noticeably big drop in business on Day 3 at the box office. A small drop on Sunday was expected, as Saturday was a holiday for Independence Day. But the drop at some centres was as high as 30% from Saturday.

Brothers has opened well at the box office, but the multiplex business has been below-the-mark in the first two days and that trend has continued on the third day too. The word-of-mouth is mixed and given its genre, the family audience might not come out in big numbers to watch the film Monday onwards. As part of #IndicineLBO predictions, we expect Brothers to end with lifetime box office collections of Rs 100 – 105 crore. Our final prediction for the film is Rs 103 crore.

Brothers has recorded the second highest two-day collections in 2015, way ahead of all other films released this year, except Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. In fact, the 2nd day collections of Brothers is higher than the first two days of Akshay’s Baby.

Brothers has collected around Rs 21.43 crore on Day 2 at the domestic box office. The film has done outstanding business at most centres, but the growth has come because Saturday was a National Holiday and one of the best days for film business.

Brothers has done reasonably well on its opening day at the box office. The film has collected Rs 15.2 crore net on Day 1, which has made it the second highest opening day grosser of 2015.

Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan has become only the second film in the history of Indian Cinema to gross more than Rs 600 crore worldwide. The Kabir Khan directed film is also the 3rd film to cross the 175 crore mark overseas. It has outgrossed Salman’s previous highest overseas grosser (Kick) by more than 100 crore.

Q. Biggest Blockbuster In Indian Cinema and Biggest Disaster? – IMAM A. The biggest money spinner in the history of Indian Cinema is PK. The worldwide gross of the film is more than Rs 750 crore, it’s also the only film to gross more than Rs 300 crore both in India and the overseas markets (including collections from China). In terms of footfalls, Sholay remains the biggest blockbuster. The biggest disaster is Bombay Velvet, the film lost 80-90 crore of its investment. Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Broken Horses also lost more than 95% of its investment.

Bangistan has opened to a very poor response at the domestic box office on Friday. In fact, last week’s Drishyam had better occupancy for the morning shows, as compared to the Excel Entertainment produced film which has taken a opening of around 5-10%. To recover costs, Bangistan will now rely on word-of-mouth publicity. Growth on Saturday will be crucial for the film, but the early reports are not positive.

Drishyam is quickly emerging as Ajay Devgn’s best appreciated movie since Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai (2010) and Singham (2011), as the film is not only sustaining well at the box office, but has shown growth on Tuesday. The collections are still on the lower side, but that is only because ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ is still going strong in its 3rd weekend and the Hindi version of ‘Baahubali’ has also sustained well in Week 4.

In the last 6 months or so, after the record-breaking overseas success of films like Dhoom 3, PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, one question that we get asked quite frequently is about Shah Rukh Khan’s overseas dominance. Has Aamir Khan sneaked ahead of Shahrukh to establish himself as the biggest crowd puller overseas?

Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan is just 5 crore short of the 300 crore mark. Only one film has crossed the 300 crore mark in India and Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be the second film ever to do so.
